Gift of time?

Babysitting, housework, something personal that you know she would love. I would love an evening of babysitting so I could just relax and do what I want.

If you want a gift maybe look at some bespoke jewellery that's pandoraesque

Can you make something for her? Do you bake/crochet/knit/sew? My sister made lovely scarves for DD and I for Christmas.

Could you do a memory book with photos etc of you both?

If you're on O2 and have Priority Moments, they've offering an Albelli photobook free for the next week or so (only pay 3.95 postage) - 24 pages (fits loads of photos - at least 60) and it's a lovely little hardback book, really good quality and great for a present! Depends how many photos you have though..!

When I've been hard up I've bought things from the charity shop.

Toiletries, scarves, jewellery, books are always good finds. As long as you check things properly you can find some great things. Wrap them up really nice in tissue and a bag or paper and no one will know. I'm not sure how much you have to spend but I guarantee you will find something nice for under a fiver.
